Improve usability by allowing train crews to carry and check the data contents of tickets. [Configuration] A rechargeable battery is built in the main body of the card reader / writer, and the battery is used as a driving power source.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable magnetic recording medium processing apparatus suitable for, for example, being carried by a train crew when patrolling in a car and checking the data recorded on a ticket held by a user.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a magnetic card processing device for reading data recorded on a magnetic recording medium (hereinafter referred to as a magnetic card) or recording new data on the magnetic card, a so-called card reader / writer, is generally a desktop type. Is.

Therefore, the conventional desk-top type processing device can easily obtain the driving power source from the commercial power source.

By the way, in recent years, there has been proposed an in-train display device which can easily inspect the train without causing any trouble to the user (for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 5-123505 proposed by the present applicants). etc).

The in-vehicle display device according to the above proposal reads the data recorded on the tickets, and when the read data and the pre-recorded data match, the seat display lamp lights and displays. The seated user and the ticket can be dealt with, and the in-vehicle ticket inspection can be performed smoothly.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional desk-top type magnetic card processing device described above has a problem in that it is inconvenient because it cannot be moved and used.

For example, in the above train display device, when it is determined that the tickets are abnormal, the cause of the abnormality cannot be clarified unless the train has the magnetic card processing device.

Further, even if a desk-top type magnetic card processing device is installed in the passenger compartment or the like, there is an inconvenience that the abnormal ticket must be carried to the passenger compartment.

The inconvenience in clarifying the above-mentioned abnormal ticket is the same in the automatic ticket gates which are widely used at present.

For example, when it is determined that the ticket is abnormal and the ticket gate is rejected, the person in charge of the ticket check must be trusted and the ticket gate must be trusted, or if the abnormal state of the data is to be clarified accurately, the clerk You must move to a place where a desk-type magnetic card processing device such as a station office is installed with an abnormal ticket.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable magnetic card processing device capable of easily determining the recorded contents of a magnetic card.

[0012]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the device of the present invention reads data recorded on a magnetic card such as a ticket inserted in a portable magnetic card processing device main body, performs arithmetic processing, and displays the calculation result on a display unit. In a portable magnetic card processing device for writing new data displayed on or input to the magnetic card, the portable magnetic card processing device body has a rechargeable battery built-in and drives the battery. It is characterized by using it as a power source.

[0013]

[Action]

 In the above configuration, the battery supplies drive power to the main body of the portable magnetic card processing device (hereinafter referred to as the main body).

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus according to one embodiment, and when setting a display unit 2 including a display screen, new data and main body 1 in a predetermined mode such as a confirmation mode in order from the upper front to the lower front of the main body 1. An input section 3 including a numeric keypad for inputting a predetermined signal and an insertion slot 4 for a magnetic card C are provided in the.

In the figure, 5 is a remaining capacity meter for displaying the remaining capacity of the battery, which is not shown in FIG. 1, and is provided at the lower right of the display unit 2. The remaining capacity meter 5 is a well-known remaining capacity meter, and is configured such that a predetermined lamp 5b corresponding to the potential of the battery is turned on when the button switch 5a is pressed.

Further, in the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a switch, which is operated when driving the main body 1 and is provided on the upper right side of the insertion opening 4. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pin of a jack 8 of a DC power source (not shown) that is inserted when charging the battery, and is provided on the end face of the main body 1 on the insertion port 4 side.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the apparatus of this embodiment, in which the battery 9 is a well-known rechargeable battery such as a cadmium battery and the like. It has a sufficient capacity to drive it.

The transport mechanism 10 is composed of a well-known roller, a belt conveyor, etc. for taking in the magnetic card C from the insertion port 4 into the main body 1 and further ejecting it from the insertion port 4, and the read-light section 11 is a well-known card. Like the reader / writer, it is composed of a magnetic head.

The controller 12 controls the main body 1 in a centralized manner, and is mainly composed of a microcomputer, and is displayed outside the above-mentioned transport mechanism 10 and read / write unit 11 with reference to FIG. The unit 2 and the input unit 3 are also connected.

When the switch 6 is turned on in the apparatus of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the transport mechanism 10, the read / write 11, the input unit 3, the display unit 2 and the controller 12 receive driving power from the battery 9 and the main body. 1 becomes movable. Therefore, when the magnetic card C is inserted into the insertion slot 4 in this state, a predetermined processing operation can be performed.

For example, when the main body 1 is set to the magnetic data confirmation mode by pressing a predetermined key of the input unit 3 and the magnetic card C is inserted from the insertion port 4, the magnetic card The data content of C is displayed and confirmed on the display unit 2.

The memory in the controller 12 is configured so as to be constantly supplied with power from the battery 9 and capable of holding a predetermined memory content.

The remaining capacity of the battery 9 is charged by pressing the button switch 5a to turn on a predetermined lamp 5b. Therefore, if the remaining capacity is low, insert the jack 8 into the pin 7 to charge the battery. can do.

As described above, since the device of this embodiment has the battery as the driving power source in the main body, it is not limited to the place of use and the usability can be improved.

Although the display unit 2 is a display screen in the above-described embodiment, it may be a printer.

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 Since the device of the present invention has a rechargeable battery as a driving power source for the main body, the device is not limited to the place of use and the usability can be improved. Therefore, when the train crew owns the main body, it is possible to easily confirm the data of the passenger's tickets.
